The Dallas Rose Society marked their 70-year anniversary in October. DRS were the hosts for the South Central District Rose Conference. I was privileged to be a part of that event by doing a presentation on painting roses. The lecture on the society highlights over the years was a time capsule in Dallas history.
Thank you to everyone who visited the 2022 National Juried Exhibition at the Grapevine Convention and Visitors Bureau during the month of October. I had two paintings in the exhibition selected by our juror Sally Strand. Anglers Serenity, image at right, won the Award of First Award of Merit. Our sponsors are greatly appreciated. In my case H.K. Holbein Art Materials – just love the new pastel set I won.

A sincere thanks to the 23 students who enrolled in my One-Day GOUACHE class with Southwestern Watercolor Society. We had a grand time at Gallery Pure, located in the Shops at Willow Bend. I was honored to have been asked to present this class utilizing this vibrant medium.
I am delighted that the boxed set of Sympathy Cards is again offered by Gracefully Yours. These beautifully written comfort cards feature four of my pastel paintings.

Haddad's Fine Arts, of Anaheim California has published posters of
three of my pastel landscapes. The series was inspired by trips along
the gulf coast and my fascination for the varied lush greenery along
the waterways. They are 20 x 24 inch heavy weight poster. These are
available from national suppliers of fine art posters.
